It's Because We Have Hair but Who Put Grandma Under the Stair?

A few little mentions today my lovelies, first of all welcome to my new followers! I have over 80 now and I'm absolutely thrilled! I never would have thought anyone would want to read about my life, but I must be doing something right and it's very humbling :).


Also, here's a cute little shot from the Peasant's ball following the Winter Magic festival a few weekends ago.




Furthermore, as some of you may have noticed from my last post; I'm a little obsessed with Rockabilly quiffs right now. I especially think it looks rather smashing with shaved sides of the head. It works on either sex in my opinion! (boys especially :P)


Here's a few pics I found through google (THESE ARE NOT MY IMAGES)









Mmmhmmm



Also, a good friend of mine is over in the US at the moment (lucky bugger!) and is going to purchase me a new pair of Ray Ban sunglasses; seeing as they're about $130 cheaper over there than they are here. I'm not really much of a brand whore normally, but I do have a thing for designer sunglasses; as I'm very sun-wise and they're simply so stylish! I've had my black wayfarers for several years now and I love them to bits. Originally when my friend and I were discussing which type to get before he gallivanted across the ocean I planned to get another pair of wayfarers. However after discovering the clubmasters I immediately changed my mind.


So soon these beauties will be mine! I'm so excited!


My new purchases from Fanplusfriend arrived today in the mail and I should do a post on those in the next few days. I can't wait for an event to wear my Rococo-style dress to! Unfortunately those will be my last purchases till I move to Melbourne in September as I HAVE to get serious about saving for my move. (Eeep I mean other than my new sunnies!) But seriously, get up me if I'm considering getting anything else. I'm gonna be destitute otherwise!

Lastly I'm really looking forward to my friend Adelle's 21st tomorrow evening as it's Harry Potter themed! Plus a few of us in the NSW Steampunk Crew are planning a dressed up outing to the Powerhouse museum this month. Of course I will be doing it on the cheap as much as I can, but it still should be good fun!


Anyway stay tuned for the aforementioned posts that are up and coming and of course the next instalment of 'Interview With a Goth' featuring Saskia of Graveyard Picnic!




Thanks everyone for reading!

It's a Kind of Magic

On the weekend just gone whilst still recovering from the plague I headed up to the Blue Mountains for the Winter Magic Festival. A bunch of us from the New South Wales Steampunk crew marched in the parade up through the main street of Katoomba along with a fair few other groups of people. What can I say? What a blast! I met a lot of interesting people both on the day of the festival and then later in the evening at the Peasant's Ball at the Carrington.

I took my camera with me and took a couple of pics. Sorry if they're not that great technically, the lighting was quite horrible. I've done my best to fix them in photoshop.




























In other news, my poll is just about over and it looks as though the majority of people would like to see 'Interview With a Goth' once a week. This may not always be possible but I'll try my best to keep it up that often. Belinda! You're the next victim so please gimme your email address! :P

There's a Zombie in Your Immune System

Sorry for my lack of posting lately my fellow bloggers and blog-readers (all 73 of you, eeep!). After spending the long weekend in Canberra, I got myself a nice case of bronchitis. So yesterday after seeing the doctor and toddling off to the pharmacy to get m'drugs (Oh and I had to have a blood test because my doctor thinks I'm anaemic again AND vitamin D deficient - I'm SOOO Gawth :P) I headed home and pretty much slept the whole day, only stirring from my slumber every now and then to hack up a lung or two. This really couldn't have come at a worse time what with Winter Magic up in Katoomba this weekend of which I was (am?) very much looking forward to attending. In fact the Steampunk Parade and then later in the evening, ball was my only solace after reading in a few of the blogs I follow that yesterday (or was it the day before?) was International Steampunk Day. Sigh, hopefully I'll be well enough to crawl out of this cesspool of mucus, tissues and germs that currently is my room and enjoy the festival (making up for my severe lack of Steampunkedness this week).

So! If you have any astounding home remedies for speedy recoveries from sickness, pleeease let me know.

Oh and I picked up my new 50mm lens whilst waiting for my script at the chemist yesterday and it feels so good to have one again. Felt naked without it.

Over and out lovelies
